Everything Else You Want to Know Before Attending the “Sweetener” World Tour
For those who need to bring a bag, we suggest taking Ariana Grande and her team’s advice, and going clear. Again, this is her first tour since the Manchester attacks, so the production team is veering on the side of caution. To avoid getting stuck in those long, buzz-killing bag check lines, either go bagless or stay clear.

This year, Grande’s hair clips are bedazzled. For her Dangerous Woman tour, Grande wore a signature pearl hair clip for every stop. Now, with the help of her go-to hairstylist, Josh Liu, Grande is sporting the bedazzled clips alongside her signature ponytail. Want to join in on the moment? Bedazzle yourself some bling and embrace the pre-K hair trend alongside the only person in the world who could’ve made it cool again.
You can register to vote. If you haven’t already registered for the 2020 election, Grande has thoughtfully provided booths where you can sign up and receive a dope, one-of-a-kind voting sticker. Also, whoever thought of “You like, my rights? Gee thanks, just voted” should definitely get some sort of promotion.
Ariana had booths where you could register to vote. Even though I’m already registered I was able to sign up for text alerts and got the cutest voting sticker! #SweetenerWorldTour #SWTAlbany pic.twitter.com/ZUXPzMg0m4

Save your money, buy the good merch online. We’re not quite sure what Ariana Grande’s merchandise development team was thinking with the concert offerings. Reminiscent of the 90s, but executed with KidPix, early 2000s graphic design capabilities… fans were confused as well.
the sweetener merch design really has ariana looking like she died pic.twitter.com/XcKGo4wzL6
